About Vet

Please read: Veterinarians in California are not legally able to prescribe medications to pets they have not examined in person. They are able to provide advice on the urgency of a medical situation and general advice about medical conditions and over-the-counter (OTC) solutions that may help your pet.

Have you ever been in a situation where you are not sure if you should see a veterinarian or not? Are you unable to get an appointment at your primary veterinarian's office? I am here to help! I graduated from the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech (go Hokies!), and am excited to provide you and your pet with exceptional care. My interests include gastrointestinal disease, preventive care, itchy skin, and educating! I am looking forward to meeting you!

Dr. Safian was wonderful in helping with our foster dog’s eye discharge! The wait for the emergency clinic was over 4 hours, but fortunately he was able to give us great guidance and call in a prescription!
